Quoting Kiwiinoz (Reply 22):Singapore for the Hindu temple. Still don't know the other one

Correct!, it is indeed Pagoda Street in Singapore.

Regarding the other one with the boats in the foreground - I very quickly guessed the country - because of an obvious hint. I have not been to that country. I looked for photos of the first coastal city that came to my mind from that country - and the photos did not match so I had to look at a map to find another coastal city where photos on the web matched the photo that was posted.
